Hi, I have installed visit 3.4.1 in ubuntu 22 system. But i am getting the above error when I try to read the sdf files using the visit software. When I type make visit in epoch#d directory, though it shows sdf reader is successfully built, this error still persisits.

Dear,

Have you resolved the problem or have you been successed with other VisIt version?

I met the exactly same problem on visit 3.4.1 and ubuntu22. The sdf plugin was built successfully but the sdf file can't be opened in visit still.

Hi.

I have meeted this problem before. When the SDF plugin is compiled successfully, the shared library file of the plugin will be generated in the path $EPOCHHOME/SDF/visit/bin/plugins/database, and $EPOCH HOME is the path where the EPOCH file is located.

So Just copy these shared library files to the folder where the plugins are located in ~/.visit. The visit I installed is 3.4.1, so on my computer, I need to copy the library files to ~/.visit/3.4.1/Linux-x86 _ 64/plugins/databases/. Visit seems to only recognize plugins in this path.
